Pet Sitting in Downey

“Karla was a great sitter. She was on time daily and went above and beyond the duties requested of her. She provides daily pictures and an update on my pets. I would use her again in the future.”

About: I’ve been a proud pet parent to my own dog and cat for years, giving them daily walks, playtime, feedings, and lots of love. I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ pets countless times — everything from energetic puppies needing basic training and lots of exercise to senior dogs requiring gentle walks, medication administration, and extra patience.What sets me apart? I’m a local Downey guy who’s always on time, super reliable, and treat every pet like my own family member. I’m great at reading their energy (whether they need high-energy play or chill cuddles), sending daily photo/video updates so owners never worry, and keeping homes spotless. Plus, my flexible schedule means I’m available for last-minute bookings or overnight stays. Your pets will get safe, fun, and loving care every time! Pet care easily fits into my flexible daily and weekly routine. As a full-time real estate professional and local Downey resident, my schedule is adaptable — I’m often out showing properties or running errands around town, which makes drop-ins, walks, and midday check-ins super convenient. Mornings and evenings are wide open for longer walks, playtime, feedings, or overnight stays. I typically block out time for pet clients first thing so they always get my full attention and energy. Weekends are especially flexible for boarding or extended visits. I treat every booking like it’s my own pet — reliable, on-time, and with plenty of updates so owners can relax. Whether it’s a quick 30-minute drop-in or multi-day house-sitting, I make sure it works seamlessly with my day. I always put safety and comfort first, whether I’m at your home or hosting in mine. In your home (drop-ins, walks, house-sitting): I follow your exact instructions to the letter — feeding schedule, medication, walk routes, play preferences, and any house rules. I keep your place spotless (no mess left behind), secure all doors/windows, and send plenty of photo/video updates so you can relax. I’m fully background-checked and treat every home like my own. For boarding/overnight stays in my Downey home: My place is pet-proofed — no dangerous items within reach, secure yard/fencing, cozy crates and beds available, and separate areas if needed for multiple pets. I maintain a calm, clean environment with regular cleaning, fresh water always available, and lots of playtime and cuddles. Pets get my full attention — no leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to accommodate special needs like puppy energy, senior mobility, or anxious pets with extra patience. Your fur baby’s safety and happiness is my top priority — they’ll come home happy and tired!

“Julio is very communicative so it lessens my worries while away from my cats. He follows instructions very closely and confirms before every visit. A trustworthy sitter.”

About: With years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors alike.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. Family I'd visit growing up and still visit have had 10 dogs featuring 8 different breeds, including German Shepherds and Pitbulls. I've raised and basic-trained 3 puppy rescues since 2001, saw 2 of them to seniority (Chihuahua and Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix), and raised the most recent (Pug) until 2024 when I blessed close family members with her because they have a huge yard she adores and want her to be happy. I can't wait to fill this place with the vibrant energy only dogs can give! I'm currently in between jobs so I'd be able to give your furbaby all the attention they need. I just need a day's heads up to get a few things sorted and we're all set! Your place or my place? I can go either way! This townhome has a patio your furbaby can sunbathe in with a breeze and shade, or we can keep them inside nice and cool/warm if the weather isn't friendly. If they're less adventurous, I can keep them company at your place where they'd feel more at home.

“Athanasia is an amazing find! I am a first time Rover user and was very nervous. Athanasia put both me and my dog Presley at ease at the meet and greet. We booked her and she dropped in on Presley three days on a row -- doing a great job! She is an excellent communicator and coaxed great smiles from him in home and outside on their walks. Athanasia clearly loves dogs and cares for her Rover pets well. I highly recommend Athanasia and will use her again and again!!”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was in second grade. I will pampering your pooch like no one else! Whatever you need to me to do I will always go the extra mile! I am a stay at home pet dad! Taking care of my puppy Lucky Arrow is one of my daily tasks. Helping out with your pet fits easily into my schedule! I will follow your directions to the letter! The last thing you will want is to worry! So you do not have to worry about your pet with me. I have volunteered at several animal shelters and that experience has helped me understand animals in a better manner.

About: I have taken care of my families pets since I was a child, from dogs and cats to birds and spiders, I make sure they’re fed and well taken care of. I’m a full time college student just looking to make some money while I study, I mostly have morning classes for now, however that might change later I have my cat in my room with a fence so he can’t bug my dog who likes to run around more than he does.

About: I grew up taking care of dogs, so I've learned some useful skills in dog care. I've raised 5 dogs and have provided shelter for at least 3 dogs. Most of my experience is with smaller to medium sized dogs, but I'm more than willing to take care of a bigger dog. I have managed to teach most of my dogs the basics commands such as sit, stay, down, and jump among other tricks and I'm still learning how to teach more tricks. With my experience in dog care, I have learned that every dog learns at their own pace and sometimes I have to be the one to adapt to the dogs behavior to better care for the dog. Overall I believe dogs are special and should be treated as such. I am currently at home with my parents doing school full time and taking care of my siblings. I am usually open to accepting walks and drop in visits in the afternoons during the week and all day on weekends. I care for any pet like they are my own. I pay attention not only to their physical health, but their emotional and mental health as well. Please let me know of any special care your dog needs.

“Rebecca did a great job checking in on our cats while we were out of town. She is friendly, easy to work with, and very responsive and communicative. Gave us great peace of mind knowing she was looking after our kitties.”

About: I've had my own pets since I was young. I love dogs in general! I am your fur mom at heart! I treat them as my own babies! Growing up with doggies, my love and passion for furry friends has grown. No matter what dog, I always treat them as a celebrity because I adore them, even with how stubborn they are. I am currently working daily. However, it can be very flexible depending on the day! Weekends are usually my free time. Fridays through Sundays are my very flexible days. I typically walk my dogs at the park nearby. I also take my dogs to the groomers regularly. I usually let them run free in the backyard. I also have them sleep on my bed from time to time.

“Bonnie was excellent with my sometimes-anxious pup! She was on time for both visits and went above and beyond in how she cared for and interacted with Koko. Thank you, Bonnie!”

About: Have lots of experience taking care of puppies and senior pets. I know how to administer medication. I have a lot of love for animals. I am currently working full-time but do this on the side. However right now I am available full time due to vacation from work now I have a house with a backyard and it's a fenced area but the pup will be indoors treated like a loved family member now

About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was 6 years old and have always had a deep love and admiration for them. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I'm very familiar with daily care routines including feeding, walks, play time, basic grooming, administering medications if needed, and giving lots of attention and affection. I also care for a chinchilla and grew up spending time with my grandparents' cat, so I'm comfortable around different types of pets and their unique personalities. Although I'm new to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've even once considered becoming a vet tech because of how much I love spending time with animals. I'm responsible, attentive, and very detail-oriented, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare and BLS certified, safety and attentiveness are extremely important to me. Your pet's comfort, well-being, and happiness will always be my top priority. I am currently in school but when I am not in class I am more than happy to use some of that time to take care of your fur baby. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their established routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk times, medication instructions if needed, and any specific area preferences. I provide plenty of playtime, attention, and affection while also making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I'm very respectful of clients' homes, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

“My cats loved her! She was even able to get the shy one to come out.”
